Larry Cunningham on an "Amazing New Corporate Law & Econ Book"

If you are interested in corporate law, especially economic analysis of it, you likely will enjoy an impressive new book
collecting original pieces by 30 prominent corporate law scholars. Edited by Claire Hill and Brett McDonnell of the University of Minnesota, the book canvases every important topic in corporate law.

After an overview that traces the history of the economic analysis of corporate law, the book addresses corporate constituencies, governance, gatekeepers, government oversight and a few other hot topics not classified.

Within constituencies, topics consider the directors’ role, the roles of other corporate actors, including shareholders, creditors, employees, and other stakeholders along with broader notions of the public interest.

It's an expensive volume to be sure (get your library to order a copy), but--if I may say so myself, who shouldn't--my essay alone is worth the price of admission. So really, you get all those {ahem} "lesser" essays for free. Quite a bargain. eh?
